Spam those Azure tickets. If you have a CSAM, build them a nice powerpoint telling the story of all your AFD issues (that's what they are there for). > In 50%+ the cases they just don‘t report it anywhere, even if its for 2h+. I assume you mean publicly. Are you getting the service health alerts?

CSAM apparently also means Customer Success Account Manager for those who might have gotten startled by this message like me.

Alternative für Deutschland was strange enough, when I saw CSAM I was really wondering what thread I had stumbled into

Hello fellow boomers!

I noticed that winget is also down eg.

  winget upgrade fabric
  Failed in attempting to update the source: winget
  An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:
  InternetOpenUrl() failed.

> CSAM Child Sex-Abuse Material?!? Well, a nice case of acronym collision.

They should rename to Success Customer Account Manager.

Supervisor Customer Account Manager: a remote kind of job, paid occasionally with gift cards

It still surprises me how much essential services like public transport are completely reliant on cloud providers, and don't seem to have backups in place. Here in The Netherlands, almost all trains were first delayed significantly, and then cancelled for a few hours because of this, which had real impact because today is also the day we got to vote for the next parlement (I know some who can't get home in time befor…

Organizations who had their own datacenters were chided for being resistant to modernizing, and now they modernized to use someone else's shared computers and they stopped working.

I really do feel the only viable future for clouds is hybrid or agnostic clouds.

2026: the year of your own metal in a rack

2027: the year of migrating from your own metal to a managed provider

2028: the year of migrating from a managed provider to the cloud

2029: the year of migrating from the cloud to your own metal in a rack

People keep thinking the solution to their problems is to do something new (that they don't fully understand).

TIL it's called Nirvana Fallacy

Is voting there a one day only event? If not, I feel the solution to that particular problem is quite clear. There’s a million things that could go wrong causing you to miss something when you try to do it in a narrow time range (today after work before polls close) If it’s a multi day event, it’s probably that way for a reason. Partially the same as the solution to above.

If India can have voters vote and tally all the votes in one day, then so can everyone else. It’s the best way to avoid fraud and people going with whoever is ahead. I am sympathetic with emergency protocols for deadly pandemics, but for all else, in-person on a given day.

Washington State having full vote-by-mail (there is technically a layer of in-person voting as a fallback for those who need it for accessibility reasons or who missed the registration deadline) has spoiled me rotten, I couldn't imagine having to go back to synchronous on-site voting on a single day like I did in Illinois. Awful. Being able to fill my ballot at my leisure, at home, where I can have all the research m…

As a Dutchman, I have to go vote in person on a specific day. But to be honest: I really don't mind doing so. If you live in a town or city, there'll usually be multiple voting locations you can choose from within 10 minutes walking distance. I've never experienced waiting times more than a couple of minutes. Opening times are pretty good, from 7:30 til 21:00. The people there are friendly. What's not to like? (Excep…

In the US, hours-long lines are routine. Not everywhere, but poorer places tend to have fewer voting machines and longer lines.

We've been closing a lot of polling places recently:

I noticed that Starbucks mobile ordering was down and thought “welp, I guess I’ll order a bagel and coffee on Grubhub”, then GrubHub was down. My next stop was HN to find the common denominator, and y’all did not disappoint.

You know you can talk to your barista and ask for a bagel, right? If you're lucky they still take cash... if you still _have_ cash. :)
